His record for Chile is also impressive. Medel has scored 7 goals in 116 matches for Chile at senior level.

Manuel Pellegrini wants to sign a new midfielder and Medel is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. He is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him this summer.

According to TribalFootball, “West Ham haven’t dropped their interest in Besiktas midfielder Gary Medel. The Hammers expressed interest in the Chile international last month. And Takvim says West Ham remain keen on Medel ahead of the summer market. A fee couldn’t be struck in January, but that hasn’t put off the Hammers, where manager Manuel Pellegrini is a fan. Now 31, the former Cardiff City midfielder has been playing at the back for Besiktas.”
